When superpowers aren't enough...some heroes look for a boost to give them the competitive edge. Award-winning graphic novelist Rich Koslowski continues his striking work of superhero satire!
Rich Koslowski's original graphic novel F.A.R.M. System pulled back the curtain on the superhero community to reveal a satirical blend of pro sports and show business, filled with heroes and hustlers alike. Now, the shocking sequel, F.A.R.M. System: Rage, explores the intersection of superpowers, performance-enhancing drugs, and American politics. The F.A.R.M. System's founder, Alexander Ellison, is under heavy attack...from the hero Armor Man and his team of high-priced attorneys! They're accusing him of illegally enhancing his clients with a controversial designer drug called the Boost--a "super-steroid" that can amplify superhuman abilities to truly unimaginable levels. While Alex faces the fight of his life in the courtroom, the court of public opinion will decide whether one of Alex's most promising recruits will become...the next president of the United States.Author Biography
